Forty Martyrs Armenian Church Middle School March 17, 2025 <br />5311 West McFadden Ave, Santa Ana Focused Traffic Impact Study <br /> <br />K2 Traffic Engineering, Inc. 2 <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Forty Martyrs Armenian Apostolic Church is an existing religious facility located at 5311 <br />West McFadden Avenue in the City of Santa Ana. The project site currently consists of <br />a church building of 5,500 square feet and an educational building of 17,500 square feet <br />for Ari Guiragos Minassian School (PK-6), which is a subsidiary of the church. <br />The church is seeking city’s approval to construct a two-story educational building of <br />4,846 square feet for classrooms and laboratory of the proposed middle school (Grade <br />7 & 8). The proposed building will accommodate 7th and 8th grade students with a <br />maximum capacity of 32 students. Consistent with the existing Ari Guiragos Minassian <br />School (PK-6), the proposed Middle School will open Monday through Friday, and will <br />be closed on weekends. <br />The project is expected to generate 21 trips in the AM peak hour, including 11 inbound <br />and 10 outbound trips, 5 trips in the PM peak hour, including 2 inbound and 3 outbound <br />trips, and 67 daily trips. The project does not have a significant traffic impact and <br />mitigation measure is not required. The intersection of McFadden Avenue and Euclid <br />Street will maintain LOS "D" or better for weekday AM and PM peak hours in each study <br />scenario. Therefore, mitigation measure is not required. <br />The project site provides two existing access driveways on McFadden Avenue. The <br />west driveway provides ingress and egress access to and from both directions. The <br />east driveway allows egress traffic only. Both driveways are expected to operate at <br />acceptable level of services for the project opening year plus project conditions. It is <br />necessary that the height of shrubs, planting, and other visual obstructions be limited to <br />a maximum height of thirty inches to maintain sufficient corner sight distance at the <br />driveways. <br />Student drop-off and pick-up times are staggered and monitored by school staff and <br />security staff. In addition, arrangements are made with the adjacent Harut Barsamian <br />Armenian Center to divert preschool drop-off and pick-up in its parking lot. Drop-off and
